It's showing I'm single and not head of household even though I have a qualifying child. How to fix this?

How do I make my form say head of household?

  2. Paid more than half the cost to run your (or a qualifying parent's) home this year (rent, mortgage, utilities, etc.) and
  3. Supported a qualifying person.

 Also check your entries on the Personal profile screen.
